This is a fantastic project for younger children around ages 5-8. If you are a teacher, make it in class - the kids will be thrilled to bring home an apple Santa. You could also make it at home with your kids.

2

Stick toothpicks into the apple. Place one toothpick for each arm and each leg (4 altogether).

3

Stick one toothpick through the stem area for Santa's head. Leave about 11⁄2 inch (3.8 cm) of each toothpick sticking out of the apple.

4

Slide a marshmallow down the end of each toothpick until it touches the apple.

5

Stick a gumdrop or gumball at the final end of each toothpick, after the marshmallow.

6

Add cloves for Santa's eyes and nose. Put three cloves down the front of each apple for Santa's buttons.

7

Gently stretch a cotton ball. Lift the "head" marshmallow slightly. Put one end of the cotton ball under the head for Santa's beard, then slide the marshmallow back down until it holds down the beard.
